What do you think Dark Matter is? Could there be Dark Matter life forms?

“And, join us next time for question #3 with Dr. James Beacham.”😂

Every time Anna does her intro my cat runs to the tv and gets close to the screen. Once JMG starts talking he walks away. Another scientific mystery.

I liked the energy of Dr. James, you can hear the passion for the profession.

This guy interviewed himself 😂 Fun fact press any random time its this guy talking away

I can not come up with a valid argument against dismantling Mercury.

This fellow obviously drinks the best espresso known to man... and lots of it! ☕🚀

“Never cross the beams !”

Dr Beacham is one of my favorite science commentators, right up there with Dr Cox and Dr Al-Khalili.

I really look forward to the discovery that our current concept of "scientific reality" actually doesn't reflect reality at all.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2914">48:34</a> - “Dismantling Mercury…” I love Dr. Beacham!

Wow! This interview was excellent.

It’s almost like he’s having an inner dialogue out loud to us if that makes sense. He asks himself the question out loud in his head, to us the listener, then works through the question verbally, then attempts to resolve it, and opens up another question in that resolution indefinitely. Most of scientists, when explaining things tend to do the antithesis of this. I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy this at all. In fact, I did. I’m just commenting on the style the way this gentleman speaks. I’m an amateur myself, but in all honesty, I feel like I have, and could explain dark Matter/Higgs, etc Plus he got the age of the universe incorrect right off the bat

If you hung up on this guy, I wonder how long he would keep on talking by himself before he noticed...

James does an amazing lecture on black holes. Great guest!

Some people just can't help getting political when all we want to talk about is science

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="150">2:30</a> “the very brief version…”. followed by sixteen breathless minutes of an entire synopsis of 20th century physics.

Dr. Beecham speaks how my brain works. I love all his tangents that explained question I had as he was talking. You can tell he’s very knowledgeable and passionate which explains why he had so much to share about the topic. Can’t wait for part 2!

Ill have what he's having. Great podcast.😂

James beacham: “we shouldn’t let the billionaires take control of space. They’ll mine the asteroids and destroy space like they’ve destroyed the environment on earth.” 🤨 Also James Beacham: “we should destroy mercury to make a giant particle collider, for SCIENCE.” 😮

Holy cow … does this guy take a breath?

Always a treat when a new event horizon is posted. Thanks very much.

The lad practically interviewed himself 😂

The Higgs field: return of the aether.

Poor Mercury. It seems whatever we plan for future Mercury is going to be the raw meterials

Overuse of parentheses

A great night with Event Horizon.

Excellent interview as always- fascinating!

Another fantastic interview, John! Thanks!!! 😃 But yeah, if we start to think about multiple projects on the Moon, like dr. Beacham collisior, the radio telescope in the far side and so on... We may not only return to the Moon, but also staying there! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I like the idea of dismantling mercury for the collider because you also have your energy source very close by too!

Great video, also Love that closing music...love it.

This was SO SO SO GOOD! THANK YOU!

This was fantastic, really enjoyed this guy and learnt a lot from it.

I stopped the second he said "it's not some lone white male..." The second someone says something like that, I know they're the kind of person who shouldn't be taken seriously or listened to. It's a policy that's served me well.

Thankyou for the upload

What a wonderful world you and your guests share with all of us. Thank you and your crew for the amazing content

We are moving towards a type 1 civilization. We could learn so much from a civilization 1000 years ahead of us.

Fascinating guest. I had not heard about colliders in space before. Thank you John.

Great video and information !

I've watched a couple of Dr James Beachem's talks at the Royal Institution. When I seen he was a guest on here I lost my shit.😅🎉😊😂I could listen to him for hours upon hours. ❤

This was very interesting to listen to. Thank you to Dr Beacham for the information. Thank you JMG for the topics 🤘🏻😁

Just noticed a new video... may awful day is at least a bit better now. Thank you Event Horizon. ❤

Great episode.

Didn't expect a lecture

It would be fantastic if you could interview someone from the physics community in Japan, I know they're doing good work over there 😀

Rite John, Dude was energetic, enthusiastic n interesting! Stay safe n well TFS, GB :)

De. James is the best. I wish he was my mentor. He sounds like the best personal coach in history.

I don’t know if he ever took a breath.

Thanks John.

I wonder if there exploring a way to keep elements around that decay quickly. To see what we can do with them

Laid up in bed with the flu - JMG to the rescue!

I like that their letter font is like Skyrim's 😁💯

Thank you

I love your content, I am dying

Weakly interacting massive particles should’ve been called Slightly interacting massive particles, so we could’ve named the first example Kazuya…

This guy seems to know what he's talking about

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="588">9:48</a> Oh, so THAT"S what a scalar field is. Wild. It sounds like neo-aether. Could dark matter be purely Higgs-interactive particles? What levels of energy would we need to make it and could we even detect it if we did?

Well. At least you don't have to pry words out this guy.

Oh Jonathan, what games we play….the hour is nigh and what is hence looms amidst these laden roads betwixt that yonder crevasse from which surreptitious things emit. At dawn, trust the shadows only till Zenith comes. When fleeting winds whisper, hark or be expunged.

An exellent interview. What I would like to understand is he says they accelerate the protons to almost the speed of light. He talks about an upgraded collider with more energy. What do they do with more energy because the protons are already travelling at almost the speed of light so it cannot go faster.,

Would love to hear the pricing quote on dismantling Mercury to create the solar collider

Please ask him what kinda coffe he ddrinks. I'll definitely need that. But great session and love the energy.

Leeeeets go!

Great interview. I'd like it twice if i could.

It would be incredible conversation to see this guy and Billy Carson talk with each other. He's got a lot of theories about what they "really"so there are CERN. If anyone is interested it's on the Shawn Ryan show. It's all very fascinating.

Too bad we don't have our own CERN in Texas. smh

The guy just can't stop talking at the beginning of the video haha

1.6x 10^22. As above as below. Are we still contemplating larger faster collisions with bigger colliders and are singularity models possible as the result higher concentration of more energy past that threshold?

I often wonder what sort of technology and consumer items will emerge from the insights gained by this sort of research. I doubt if the likes of Faraday, Maxwell and Volta ever imagined that their research would spawn the likes of supercomputers and cellphones. I’m sure Apple is also thinking about and maybe even working on the next must have gadget ( even though we don’t currently realise that we must have it) that will efficiently vacuum our wallets.

_"Billionaires are a threat to space."_ TRUE. _"Let's dissasemble Mercury."_ 😒

Eugene Wigner needs to be talked about waaaaaaay more.

Sometimes I feel really bad for Merkury, everyone wants to dismantle it.

I’m just thinking that if one day they can figure out how to do it at the speed of light, if there would be a bigger difference!

this episode was awesome! yeah i have thought that dark matter is a whole world of different fields that just dont really interact with us in any meaningful way. they dont necessarily need to be particles in the strict sense. space seems to be dimensionality itself, and i wonder if its just energy (of any kind) that pinches it, even fields which we never have any interaction with. it seems likely to me that there is other "multiverse like dimension" manifestations of reality which could theoretically exist if you were to participate with interacting with those other fields. who knows, there could be a manifestation of reality where aliens are puzzled at the density fluctuations which look like 'magic harmonic rotating spheres' made by our jupiter & planets, when what "should be" just a uniform cloud of their brand of matter cloud. and the scale could be way out of whack as well. jupiter could be the size of a basketball for dark matter aliens.

The "Lone white male" line towards the beginning was particularly grating. Fuck us I guess.

When we discover what gravity is it will be the next advancement in technology like the computer age. Screwing with black holes though may be a bad idea.

Wtf, thus guy is so smart yet crazy as cab be! He talking about the start of a Dyson sphere like collider well great conversation!

Dr. James is really cool, very interesting person. Would we be able to see the particle accelerator on the moon? I wonder what that would look like. I’ll go look maybe some artists have made imaginings.

When i hear intelligent people talk about the LHC, and then i remember a preacher saying ''Scientists are building a gateway to Hell'', i have so many conflicting emotions about our species that i don't know what to think!

I am now starting The Mercury Preservation Foundation and welcoming all donations to said foundation. We must save Mercury.....so send money....or guitars

If Higgs field then isn’t gravity from say earth that field getting dragged into the planet.. but what happens ? And if mass drags in everything based on effects based on Higgs field and little else until really physically close then what about empty vacuum space.. shouldn’t that field being dragged or deformed be replaced or made somehow or is it a static like a fluid that doesn’t move but just has a significant effect on the cosmos (as the guest says it) especially with light.. really feels like as a static field it just have ways to bend and break those properties to break it’s effects on energy and matter.

When are we going to get a planet 9 update?!!

YAY !

Pluto was first, Mercury is next.

James only have one story to tell. James plz tell us more.

I see why these dudes make Sabine tear her hair out. It’s not ok to exploit the moon for profit but it’s ok for you to dismantle mercury at an unreal cost to people not named you as a pet project to find a particle you’re guaranteeing exists? In that case, let’s spend zero and just assume it exists. This dude is bananas. I say “no thanks” to all the nonsense he’s pitching.

sorry, at the first question the guest continued to talk for 16 min at least:......................... I was not able to wait for the question number 2. sorry

Hmm, those extractive, resource exploitive activities that "produced anthropogenic warming" also produced the wealth that made CERN possible.

I love Anna's voice

Interesting chap but seems John couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

Replicating the conditions of an ocean and replicating those of a “big bang” is a poor analogy, but I get it lol

IS THAT "scaler field jelly" the dark matter?

I have no idea who Eugene Wigner is, but I know about his damn friend. Watching. Always.

The universe is one giant video game made up of whatever image you can think off. I wonder I really do.

I kinda never really liked Mercury anyhow. Its not Pluto.

Partial phyics is just smacking two thigs together and seeing what happens

NEVER cross the streams 💀

It took Einstein to figure out that the orbit of Mercury changes because of the gravity of the sun. A large circular structure near that orbit would be rapidly distorted, even ignoring the high temperature and radiation. Dismantling Mercury without having it fly apart, then moving the pieces even with mass drivers, would require technology which to us would be indistinguishable from magic, to borrow a phrase. A civilization at that level would have figured out shortcuts making that kind of construction of a supercollider in space as logical as the construction of a bigger Stonehenge in space.
